The Ukraine War Is a Racket

Major General Smedley Butler Nailed in 91 Years Ago--Still True Today!

https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html

Main points:

  • What was the main reason for the dispute between Zelensky and Trump/Vance? 1. Keep the grift going, and fear of Azov. Vs. Cutting losses on an investment gone bad, and demanding to be made whole.

  • A replay of confessions of an economic hitman

  • We supply the dollars, you supply the deaths. We supply the money, you supply the misery, we supply the bucks, you supply the bodies

  • Money sent to Ukraine in fact goes to US corporations

  • What is meant by ‘War is a Racket’?

  • Who was Major General Smedley Butler and why does it matter?

  • Brief background on ‘Ukraine as an investment’

  • What we’re told about Ukraine, the scrappy new democracy vs the real story

  • Bottom line: The US business model: Class war at home, endless war abroad

“WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

And a final note: Zelensky has many faults, as does the Kiev regime, which is illegitimate since it is the creation of a US coup. However, it was the US and British who pushed Ukraine to pursue war over peace. And now that Ukraine has lost a million soldiers, its economy is ruined, and millions have left, resulting a demographic disaster, Trump is angry because Zelensky didn’t say “Thank you”.

This is a classic example of a deeply abusive relationship. The West’s cynicism and psychological manipulation of the Ukrainian people is shocking, yet I haven’t seen anyone bring up this point. “We supply the (fiat printed) dollars—-You supply the destroyed lives of real people—-and we demand that you be grateful to us.”

It should be successive US administration that thanks Ukraine for fighting its proxy war. But instead, what the US is really saying, “Tough luck, sucker”.
